I don't want to sound arrogant. I want to try to be authentic. (At least I want to try, for authenticity itself is a journey of self discovery and self excavation. But I am digressing. Authenticity can be a topic for future posts.)

The question I want to answer here is : Whom should we engage with ? As coaches, artists, writers, possessors of our own unique voice and essence, and various industry professionals, the question often arises : who should we work with and who should we engage with in our daily professional and personal lives ?

My answer is simple : Only those who get you. And no one else. At least if you have a choice. (And if you don't have that choice currently, see how you can create that choice over coming period, so you can begin to exercise more freedom in your decisions in whom you engage with and whom you don't. Don't sell your soul. It's pathetic. Take care of your inner essence you are born with.)

Ignore those who don't get you.

If you are trying too hard to convince people, it means something is off. It means you are not in touch with your inner essence.

Because when you are in touch with your essence, you simply begin to live your path and your depth and stop wasting your resources on those who don't get you. You become very selective in who you engage with. You stop worrying about being liked by everyone (Living your essence is not a necessarily a popularity contest). You stop worrying about pleasing the masses. (Read Nietzsche on the topic of common stupidity one often witnesses in the masses versus the authentic intelligence one can come across in an individual). You begin to listen to your intuition and let decisions evolve from there.

I have often thought of Spiritual Anarchy. The kind of anarchy which liberates the human soul and spirit from the shackles of all that is impure in our lives. (Spirituality for me has nothing to do with organized religions).

We stop living in quiet agony and declare a spiritual anarchy in our souls. If you ask me what is my life purpose. It is Unleash Your Power and Spiritual Anarchy.

I believe that human soul contains the seed for oasis of truth and volcano of love inside it, but it rarely reaches it's potential because most people make compromises with the superficial and the mundane. The search for depth is missing in most humans. That's why they live like sheep. And they suffer the pain, disillusionment and consequences of living an unfulfilled, meaningless, divisive and untrue life.

Spiritual anarchy is a path of flames. It is a path of the soul. It is a journey inside our soul for the oasis of truth and volcano of love.

Following my earlier article What are Golden Cages, let's look at how we can live free from the Golden Cages.

The key realization for anyone trapped in the Golden Cage is as following : The door to the Golden Cage is always open. We however choose to accept the security and the misery of the cage because of our greed, fears and mistrust about life outside the cage.

We are all unique in our experiences and we have a subconscious sense of what is important for our well being and our soul. What I may perceive as Golden Cage may not be so for you. And that is fine. As long as we are candid with ourselves and accurately look at how things are stacked in our lives, we will have a realistic sense of what are Golden Cages for us and what are not.

Once we identify the Golden Cages, the next question that comes up is How painful it is for us to live in the Golden Cage ? If the pain is below the tolerance threshold perhaps you don't need to do anything.

However if the pain is above the tolerance threshold you know deep inside that this situation cannot go on for long. And something has to change. And that's when you have to start looking at the relationship of the 3 elements : Greed, Fear and Mistrust to your tendency to not open the door and fly away. (If soul is figuratively an intense, beautiful, unique bird, a day comes when its wings open and it flies in the wild sky accepting the fate which comes of living in the wilderness of the open blue sky.)

Once we realize that life outside the Golden Cage is far more healthier, beautiful and has the intensity that we yearn for in our souls, a transformation begins to happen. The decision to let go and go beyond the greed, fears and mistrust starts deepening and we start experiencing glimpses of inner freedom. The soul accepts and revels in the intensity, joy and responsibility of living in the wild and prepares itself for the flight in the blue sky.

"My only concern is to set humans absolutely and unconditionally free."

- J Krishnamurti

When we are born, we inherit a country and sometimes a religion. Nobody really asks the soul which is born about their choice in these matters. It is just pushed on us. For a moment let's call country and religion similar to a box. If you look around most problems humans are creating for each other is trying to protect their own "boxes" versus others "boxes". My point is perhaps we need these boxes to some extent but as a human being, is he or she only restricted to these boxes ? Or is there a deeper essence to the person which is much deeper than any country, religion or any other boxes can bracket itself around ?

Can human essence be restricted to any one particular country or religion ? Isn't the human essence deeper, purer and belonging to the soul of the universe.

Between birth and death, aren't there moments for every human when he or she has reflected her depth which was far deeper than any country or religion can envelop. Haven't humans experienced that essence in themselves (at least in some moments between birth and death) which went deeper than any country or religion can hold.

And from that depth and that essence of the soul, can you really look at other human beings and feel they are different ? Regardless of their surface boxes of country, religion, ethnicity, color, background. Perhaps all of this was made to experience life from a sense of diversity and mutual respect.

But to let these surface boxes, become an obsession and philosophy of mutual destruction within mankind is because we were never went deeper than the structures of country and religions. We could never grasp the essence of oneness which is deeper than all man made structures. When humans were first born, did we have any country ? Did we have any religion ? All of these institutions man created. But life in its pure form which came to Earth was free of all these shackles. It was only later that we got bitten by the poison of our own sociological institutions.

I am not saying that you don't cherish whatever country or religion you are surrounded with or you like. What I am saying is, when you meet other humans who don't belong to the same boxes as yours, pause a moment and reflect, before you think that they are different from you. Maybe you will sense that at the depth we are all one as humanity. Maybe you will start to use your time and creativity you have in this life to strengthen this oneness.

This is the spiritual principle one. The principle of human oneness. And one of the foundation principles of Unleash Your Power .

What are Golden Cages ? When we hate our toxic jobs, when we hate our toxic relationships and when we hate our toxic surroundings, but yet for some short term comfort or benefits ignore the deeper agony, these are all examples of Golden Cages.

When we wait for years inside these cages waiting for a rescuer, or a thought, or an idea, or a person or a moment, we begin perpetrating the irony of Golden Cages. The irony is that the rescuer we await for, is actually inside us. While we in vain look for the rescuer on the outside.

When we make toxic compromises in our lives which make us feel increasingly numb but yet we prefer to keep "things as they are". When we want to postpone making changes for the sake of not breaking toxic but comfortable patterns, we slowly allow ourselves to slip into the territory of soul numbness. Living like this for few years and the bird will be found hardly breathing and alive in the cage, and that bird is your soul.

As long as we are in a golden cage, are we really alive ? Or are we just awaiting a slow soul death ? These cages suck the life out of our souls much earlier than the actual physical end. The physical end which was only an outside expression of a soul death which happened much earlier. And that's the tragedy of human lives. So much potential entrapped in the golden cages of making soul crushing compromises.

The choice is for each one of us to make. A soul death in the Golden Cages for sake of protecting some comforts ? Or destroying the Cages and walking on to the path which has waited for us and finally breathing free. The principles of Unleash Your Power is : Smash these golden cages and let your soul breathe free so that love which is inside you can start breathing again.

2100. Eighty six years from now. What do you think would have happened ? Do you think we would all be living exactly as we are living today ?

Often in our rush to make things perfect and enjoy perfect lives, we tend to forget that we cannot reverse the single basic law of the universe.

Which is that we only have finite time in our physical body.

By 2100, we would all be physically gone. Every single form of human life you see around including the toddlers would have either gone or on the verge of going.

How are most of us living our lives ? Obliviousness is what comes to mind. Oblivious of the inevitable finite time we all face. I think if this fact starts dawning on most of us as humans, I believe we would begin to live with more generosity and less hatred. I think our negative patterns will begin to reduce for more fruitful pursuits because we will know we only have sometime together before our whole generation would be replaced by a new one. (And ironically the new generation in 2100 may inherit many of the dysfunctional patterns from our society unless they figure out a intelligent sensitivity to detect which patterns from previous generations will not serve them and which will).

So knowing we have some finite time with us, do you still want to waste your time in thousands of insignificant distractions ? When this time you have you can use to live and work on the art and talent you have come in this life to share. And don't you sometimes realize that there is much more to you, than what you are living on many occasions ?

What are you waiting for ? God to arrive and tell you the time you have, before you begin to wake up and start doing what you really came in this life to do.

If you are an artist and a creative person and you can be a creator of something beautiful, then you owe it to yourself and to this world to let that creativity come out. It's a deeper pain when you know you have something unique and beautiful to share and you keep postponing from letting that creativity erupt from your soul.

This the essence of Unleash Your Power world movement. I started this to reach to you with the hope that we can inspire each other to let our hearts merge with the heartbeat of the earth in this life time before we are physically gone.

Do you feel sometimes that your life is getting frittered away in trivial and surface distractions of the world and everything which is really important to you, is simply getting postponed ?

Do you feel this pain ?

The pain of living an artificial life with very little depth and meaning. Do you feel like time is slowly slipping from your fingers and yet you are not taking steps towards the essence of your true being and your deeper heart ?

Are you tired of seeing the dullness and stupidity of politicians hellbent on destroying other communities in the name of "one-upmanship and paranoid rants" instead of creating anything meaningful and life giving.

Are you tired of seeing average corporate buildings being filled with people who require years of therapy for their psychosis, neurosis and dysfunctions, and yet like plague they are infecting others in the corporate environments with their poison and their dullness.

When was the last time you truly noticed something which touched your heart ?How long that feeling remained ?

If you want to go beyond the surface distractions and immerse in the depth inside you, you will have to ready yourself for perhaps a challenging path, but possibly the only path which can touch your heart. A path of intense life.

I am not sure about everyone, but I know there is a group of humans, living and breathing in this life as our contemporaries who have magic inside them. Much more magic inside than probably what is being lived and expressed.

Why magic is not being lived is because the world can inherently be dysfunctional and caught in envy dramas at times. Instead of celebrating individual magic, mediocrity is what is tolerated and encouraged, because it doesn't trigger the envy-dramas which so many mediocrity ridden mindsets harbor.

Its not an easy world of "celebrating others and celebrating yourself" (one of the core tenets of Unleash Your Power movement). In fact the world can be more like "trash others and trash oneself".

If celebration takes precedence over envy and trashing, a lot of pain, anguish, frustration and violence will reduce, giving way to more life giving expressions. There will be more creativity, tolerance, understanding and recognizing magic in each other.

I don't know how long before this shift begins to happen. We are in 2014. How long we have to wait to see that we as humanity have tipped the scales in favor of celebration and magic instead of frustration backed violence and pettiness ? I don't think it will be in our life times. But somewhere in next 100-900 years, I am hoping the new humans who follows us, change the essence of the world to bringing more magic, creativity and joy in the world.

At least we who are living in this age of 2014 and have some time with us, can sow the seeds of magic and recognize actively what is creative, joyful and magical in human beings and actively celebrate that and rally around that.

It's time our world stops the old patterns of obsession of violence, ego frustrations, territorial anxiety, negativity, dysfunctional behaviors and all that is base in humans, and start living, recognizing and celebrating what is noble, dignified and magical in humans.
